1) In this discussion, I want to ask you to discuss process improvement based on an example. Your initial post should present a problem in a process and how you will tackle it. You can explain based on your own experience (Please do not present any information that is deemed confidential), or you can choose a service company and describe your solution to increasing the quality of the service. In this discussion, is your opportunity to emphasize your critical thinking skills to improve the process. To get the whole grade, your solution should be based on the Deming cycle (PDSA).

2) Tells us your favorite social media platform and why. Our book tells us that certain platforms are preferred the most by different age groups.Which do you dislike and why? Feel free to refer to other platforms not specifically mentioned in our text if it is your favorite and you use it the most.

3) Existing organizations may need to make location decisions for a variety of reasons. Companies like banks, fast food, supermarkets, and retail stores view the location as part of their marketing strategy, and they look for locations that will help them to expand their markets.

Now for this week, lets take a look at the following scenario and discuss the owner's decision.

The owner of a fast-food franchise has exclusive rights to operate in a medium-sized metropolitan area. Currently, the owner has one outlet open, which has proved very popular, often with lines of waiting customers. Thus, the owner is considering opening additional outlets in the area. What key factors should the owner investigate before making a final decision? What trade-offs would there be in opening one additional site versus opening several additional sites?
